“Chad McAnally and Shawn McBurnie have pulled off an all-too-rarely accomplished feat with the release of Blackbird from the Willow Sings: they have successfully blended the new and the traditional. Neither stale remakes nor pandering pop approaches can be found here. Aided by Rumgumption bandmate and guitarist Brian Barnes, both musicians have infused exciting lyrical and instrumental takes within a dizzying array of material reflective of Celtic/English styles. Dance, lyricism and balladry are all given the royal treatment by a world class ensemble.”
– Kevin O'Connor, KBEM-FM music director
